Fantasyhockeypucks Co-founder and Owner @XPV Water Partners

I created and currently manage FantasyHockeyPucks, a hockey media page that has grown to over followers. The platform, which includes a connected podcast, has secured sponsorship deals with ANS Performance, BetterHelp, and DraftKings, expanding my knowledge of business partnerships. Running FantasyHockeyPucks has helped me develop skills such as graphic design, small business ownership, and money management. This experience has given me valuable insight into creating engaging content, managing collaborations, and overseeing finances. The role is ongoing, and I continue to evolve my skills as the page grows. I’ve also learned how to effectively engage with my audience, tailoring content to keep followers interested and informed about the latest in fantasy hockey. Balancing content creation with the business side of sponsorships has given me a well-rounded understanding of running a media brand.
